You're right. This has been a great thread. Gobs and gobs of good info and insite on high velocity hunting rounds. It's funny I was just telling my ol lady that I've never had a thread take off like this one has lol

Mine was running a 140 Game King at about 3,150 FPS with super 1,000 yard accuracy - for a while!
At 2,500 rounds it was still very Hunt worthy , it just wouldn't win any marbles when the trophies and money were on the table !

Some guy in the US built a wildcat called the 6.5 Prometheus. 160 grain matrix bullets @ 3500 & 140 grain bullets @3700.

I just got the chance to look into the Prometheus. That thing is insane!!! I bet it devours barrels! But wow the ballistics on a cal like that aren't much short of amazing

I agree, a complete barrel eater. But it sure would be fun to shoot!
